I don’t knit but I want to learn only so I can do a hitchhiker..lol.
I love how the colors worked on yours, I’ve been eyeing some of the mandala colors lately too.
I think I should pick one up and get the process started!
Thanks for the lovely inspiration!

Love how your Hitchhiker turned out. Your projects always look great. Did you have to block it? I was curious about blocking acrylics. Plus, I have been wanting to make a Hitchhiker for a long while now but never thought of using Mandala….great idea and it just so happens I have 2 skeins of Warlock! Yes, I am ‘casting on all the things’! Your scarf for Miss ME is right up her alley and she will look so pretty in it with her dark hair. Have a great week!

I’ve been working on my hitchhiker for ages and using light fingering yarn and its taking forever. I spotted someone on Ravelry has done an alteration to do teeth on the other edge when casting off…I haven’t decided if I will try that or just keep going. For a while I thought I had a magic ball of yarn that wasn’t decreasing in size no matter how much I knitted! I also notice some people have put eyelets in. Do you think you’d make another?

I don’t think I’ll make another. It took FOREVER and I used DK weight. I put it away for quite a while then powered through to end it. I can’t imagine making it in fingering, I don’t have the patience 🙂

I finally finished mine and you can see the pre-blocked version on my blog…it has much sharper teeth on my blocked version…I love it.

When I bought a used spinning wheel it had some singles on that I made 2 ply from and I am knitting another hitchhiker! This time on bigger needles and putting eyelets on row 8! It’s so comforting to not need to look at a pattern and I couldn’t resist as I can take it camping and knit it anywhere.
